#he was pretty sheltered

[fideidefenswhore]

Both girls were delighted with their new brother-- Mary for maternal reasons, and Elizabeth because it gave her a playmate nearer to her own age. By March 1537, the Sheltons had no longer been in charge of the girls' household, which must have been a relief to Mary.

#by m a r c h 1537?? jesus..... #tracy borman #this is sort of what i was talking about in that anon i got so long ago #the narrative about jane as mary's stepmother really needs some examination #either A) she was really not as invested in mary's comfort as some authors have gushed #or B) her influence with henry was pretty minimal #and borman gets some major things wrong in this book so like i'll doublecheck but im pretty sure that paper by jeri l mcintosh gave the sam #timeline and iirc it's borne out by primary sources too... #chapuys selling this as a win is now even more embarassing #the boleyn relatives still as stewards of mary and elizabeth's joint household. jesus #like yeah they were probably kinder to her and had stopped pressurizing her #but that was not so much bcus the most influential boleyns were dead as it was because mary submission had already been achieved.... #for like. four seasons after . #henrician #also playmate is a little. eh . i mean... not exactly #he was pretty sheltered

Prompt 158

Klarion is on a mission. A very important mission of the utmost importance! 

He, as the oldest of the family (at least sibling-wise) has been given the sacred task of bringing his baby siblings to find their own familiars! And nothing is going to stop him from seeing this task through! He’s not going to get distracted playing with the Justice League’s Baby Team, nor is he going to try and kick Stupid-Helmet-Head-The-Despised. 

He’s going to help Jordan and Ellie find their own familiars, and Phantom-Dad will be so proud of him! Tucker-Dad will be proud too, and his Moms would as well! He’s going to absolutely rock this older-sibling thing! 

#dcxdp #dpxdc #prompts #Eternal Quartet #They’re married & their timeline is older than DCs #The 4 saw small baby Chaos Lord and went “Is Anyone going to adopt that” #And didn’t wait for an answer #Dan & Ellie are delighted in having a sibling who is just as chaotic as them #Normally they’d be older than Klarion but Halfas can’t reform from their core into adult forms #They have to fully regrow their bodies from scratch so they emerge as babies again #Halfas are pretty much the Realms versions of phoenixes lmao #Klarion: I have never had parents before and I’m going to make them so proud :) #He’s bringing his new little siblings to so many zoos & animal shelters & YJ keeps *Just* missing them #Hilarious enough it’s either Damian or Billy or both who run into the trio #Either one would join in his mission as chaotic gremlins themselves

when toshiro got on laios ass for being inconsiderate and never thinking about how his actions affect others like he was mean abt it but hes not wrong. Thats a pretty major character flaw and a pattern of behavior for laios — w not choosing jobs that made money for namari who is in a pretty dire financial situation where she cant even get off the island and has to go adventuring in the dungeon to get out of debt, who even explicitly brought this up, eating marcilles familiar immediately even tho she was attached to it, kidnapping shuro into his party and putting him in life threatening situations without like really checking he wanted to be there…?, wanting to see if izutsumi has more than one set of nipples when dehumanization is a HUGE huge issue for her the list goes on and on and on. Like when a friend does this to you its just kinda annoying but when ur the leader u really should be checking if everyones needs r met without them telling u. Like the autism plays a factor for sure, his cultural upbringing plays a factor for sure, but as ppl regardless I think u gotta step up to meet the needs of ppl in the moment or realize u shouldnt be calling the shots. just bc its influenced by factors out of ur control does not make it not a serious character flaw. And its written as such in the story.

#It makes him an interesting character w nuance and i like him for it #its a pretty big flaw dungeon meshi hits over ur head several times #And part of his character arc to grow as a leader who can communicate and take other ppls needs into consideration effectively so he can #be an effective king (an ending im still like kinda confused abt like i get its thematically full circle moment and a love #letter to the genre but like WHAT) #Granted ppl in glass houses shouldnt throw stones since shuros also a poor leader (worse than laios) #to the point that i think its a stretch to say it wasnt maizuru leading that party like “shuros party” i mean he sure was in their proximit #but his opinion does actually matter to laios and gets him to listen so ig it had to be said 😔 #dungeon meshi spoilers #Laios touden #But like it was not the first time this was brought up to him… cmon man #Toshiro is a sheltered rich kid with no conflict resolution skills who at least was kept materially comfortable his entire life #tho on the other fronts… genuinely he wouldve been happier if he wasnt born into that family #and when hes angry his actions become vicious and targeted to a shocking degree #but his assessment of situations tend to be accurate to a degree thats surprising for a person from another culture thats only been there #For 2 yrs #toshiro nakamoto #in da tags i suppose #Shuro

The newest installment of the Cult AU was so amazing and gratifying! I do have to ask about Dipper's reaction when Bill suggested that next time he hide *in* his bed - should we assume that Dipper just truly doesn't think there's any possibility that Bill would want him like that, or does it potentially reflect some truly non-existent sex ed within the cult? Did the cultists have relationships like that within the cult?

I hope you post this AU and your other shorter works on AO3, id love to be able to bookmark and comment.

Thank you for your kind words!

Dipper's reaction was mostly because the cult had sub-par to non-existent sex ed. Though to be fair, even if he was aware that Bill was, ahem, an option, he definitely wouldn't think there's any way he'd want Dipper like that.

#answers #Dipper's a smart guy who went poking around in forbidden texts #So I think he's probably got an idea of some of the mechanics and anatomy of sex #But a fairly limited amount! #And anything of a non-straight nature would have been just completely off his radar #Various cult members are for sure getting it on in the background of course #Insular communities are like that #But you can also assume that Dipper pretty much was out of the loop there #He didn't get any invites before he was a Blasphemer and definitely none post de-tonguing #What you get there is a sheltered little guy who's whip-smart - but doesn't know what he doesn't know #He might have caught on if he thought to ask the question but he doesn't know there's a question to ask #Pretty bad cult altogether; I'm betting it was Extremely Heteronormative if not outright homophobic #Which like. C'mon. BIll's not even a human gender. What the hell kind of business are they on enforcing *norms* #He'd be very VERY annoyed at that bullshit

Wanted the share the very first photos I ever took of Cody, on our car ride back from adopting him. He'd just gotten some vaccinations and was drowsy, and the tech recommended I cuddle him so he doesn't get cold.

He was very calm and polite, leading me to mistakenly believe that Cody might be an appropriate name for him.

Turns out, this was the one and only time he was calm and polite...

i for one would like to know where this "family therapist bearing everyone's feelings" mikey fanon even comes from

to say nothing for "raph and leo were having constant terrible arguments and poor baby mikey was so upset and traumatized about it that he curled up hidden away in donnie's lab where donnie comforted him, powerless to do anything about the fighting" bc like

well the family therapist thing fascinates me but i think i've talked about that and why it doesn't read true to me before.

and the pre-movie raph and leo fighting so bad headcanon stuff, though, bugs me doubly hard bc i would assume that start of movie is like. as bad as it got for that tension. the breaking point. like, lecturing and needling that didn't come to a full head (raph punching out leo's wall and then trying to square up w leo) until leo specifically messed up a mission that involved the foot clan (which i would imagine is kind of a trigger point seeing as the last result of "foot clan gathers mysterious artifacts" was "the world almost ends, we lost our home, gram gram died in front of us, we nearly lost our dad etc").

like. mikey was fine as anything blowing off training w leo! he was having a grand ol time, doing his best lil bro copycatting of leo's smugness, playing the "every time raph says hero take a bite of pizza" game no complaints, no looks of doubt. heck, donnie's fine going along with the goofing off too! when raph follows leo into his room to try to talk to him, mikey and donnie both straight-up have their faces pressed to the window to try to eavesdrop! they both look equally freaked out about the sudden escalation to Big Punch!

like idk the evidence is just not there for me to buy the fanon interpretation on this one. there's no world where mikey and donnie wouldn't get fed tf up and stick their noses in that business if it was so upsetting imo. i think everyone's movie characterization suffers a little bit overall tho tbh, that's a whole other post though

#rottmnt #rottmnt movie #rise of the tmnt #rottmnt mikey #idk man there's just. #a character being more emotionally open than his fam doesnt automatically make him the family therapist #esp when a lot of what we do get of the dynamics in show makes it pretty clear mikey is 100% The Baby and sheltered #like it kind of grates on him even esp coming from raph! bc he WANTS to be seen as on more even ground etc

About the Lights Out AU, wouldn't the building start crumbling due to weathering and stuff since there's no maintenance? Wouldn't the roof fall apart or like part of it at some point?

oh, yes. yes it would.

#since it's assumedly made of primarily concrete and metal #so it won't break down the way a house would #but that doesn't mean that areas aren't weakened or that there's parts of the building exposed to the elements #broken windows missing doors water damage animals/plants etc #in my mind the neighborhood set is on the ground floor and pretty deep in the building #very much sheltered from areas that would be affected the most by natural building decay / the elements #and wally never explores that far #whether bc he cant get certain doors open or it doesnt occur to him to try #rambles from the bog #wh lights out au #but the building is very much starting to rot around them #which doesn't start to come into play until the end of act one!!! #which! actually its funny that you mention the roof! the roof is important! #much emphasis on ceilings and roofs & how they come into play! #because they Do come into play. #but things even within the actual set do crumble a lil #wally has seen ceilings lights fall and smash things. false walls collapse due to water damage. small sinkholes open up sontworryaboutit- #things slooooooowly decay and wally watches it all happen #rust and chewed wires and mold and peeling wallpaper- #he watches the neighborhood rot & wastes away along with it

the people in the tags understand me. starembers art is super pretty but also weird at times.

One of my least favorite parts of how JRO wrote Optimus is that he wanted so badly to continue his dark and gritty world building making the Autobots problematic, but evidently couldn't reconcile this with Optimus being a Heroic Paragon, so instead he leaned way too hard into "oh Prowl was the one who did this and it was behind Optimus' back" which if anything I think makes Optimus look worse, not better. Because then it's like, okay I know Optimus trusted Prowl a lot as his friend but you CANNOT TELL ME that over the course of 4 million years, Optimus as the leader of the Autobot army who literally would have access to 99.9% of all the records they produce, would never notice or question where some of these odd/inconsistent details were pointing. It just seems really inconsistent with how a real military would actually function, especially regarding Optimus' character, who is incredibly thorough and responsible and wouldn't neglect to keep up with all the details of his army.

Hell, Optimus knows who the Wreckers are and had them on call for tricky operations when he needed them (Stormbringer) so he's literally not at all ignorant of/averse to the use of special wartime units composed of dubious individuals. He's the fucking commander of an entire army, of course he knows that War Is Hell (TM) and no one's hands are clean. That's not even getting into all the stuff he got up to in phase 2/3, I mean everything from the annexation of Earth to OP breaking humans out of prison against Council orders shows that Optimus is no stranger to immoral and/or unlawful means.

It also leads to a lot of annoying fanon where people write Optimus (sometimes unintentionally, sometimes not) as like some sort of ignorant fool who's unaware of the machinations of his own army or has some sort of naiveté of "b-but we can't use bad tactics against the enemy! I would never condone the use of morally gray means in war!" No, IDW Optimus knows perfectly well all of the bullshit he's enacted/condoned for the sake of trying to win the war. Some stuff is definitely out of character for him and was only machinated because of Prowl, but I think this fandom REALLY underestimates Optimus' personal agency/responsibility as the commander of a whole ass army and ESPECIALLY underestimates Optimus' capacity to condone morally gray Bullshit Of War while still being a good person individually as well as, comparatively, the lesser evil compared to Megatron/the Decepticons.

Anyways what I'm saying is JRO may be a good writer but he's really hesitant to make Optimus morally gray and does some asspulls sometimes to justify most of the bad things the Autobots did as "Optimus just didn't know," and since the majority of the IDW1 fandom only reads JRO's stuff they go running with this premise of ignorant/uninformed Optimus when there's evidence elsewhere in canon to show that Optimus is, in fact, very highly aware of the bullshit he's allowed "for the greater good" and the only stuff he was "unaware of" was the stuff he would literally never agree to the ethics of, like bombing innocent neutrals disguised as Decepticons to get them to join the Autobots.

#squiggposting #idw op love #i feel like part of the issue is that for a franchise whose entire premise is war #i feel like a lot of this fanbase. hasnt actually read a lot about war (fictional or nonfictional) #bc a lot of ppl here really seem to struggle with reconciling OP as a good person and OP #as a war leader who had bad things happen under his rule #and bc they dont know much about war in fiction or IRL they treat this as like. one extreme or the other? #when like if ur someone whos read a lot of war literature it's very easy to comprehend both of these as being true #like idk i think the 'OP was ignorant' defense isnt even how being a commander works #but it's also a cop out to make OP less interesting/morally gray than he could be #like idk how to explain that war is an inherently corrupt/immoral institution where in pretty much all of history #the act of waging war in itself is a moral compromise. war is literally about killing more of the other side than they do you #you are treating human life (and society and gov and the environment) as tools for victory #no matter how righteous your cause is or if you follow rules of engagement you literally are going to do bad things #so like this idea the fanbase seems to have where they like. want OP to be sheltered/ignorant of these realities #is SO not how reality works and wouldnt ever be in character for like 99% of optimi #i'm still trying to pull together my thoughts on this sorry the tags are so incoherent

Vaguely planned scene for later on, when Heidi (still figuring herself out so she doesn't have her dyed hair) and Jek run into each other at a weekday Trivia Night at a club.

When Mickey barges into the room with the photos there’s a window and I’m pretty sure if I’m remembering it correctly there’s another door to the right when you enter the room. Maybe that could be a way out for Mickey if there’s no way for him to get out through the locked door or the window

Losing my mind about Wyll with horns after you convince him not to kill Karlach. Corruption of the soul made manifest and in service of good rather than evil yes yes of course but also my tiefling is vibrating with excitement. Now she has TWO friends with horns

#bg3 #bg3 spoilers #also wyll is definitely the og companion whos changed the most but i love everything theyve done with him #like the placeholder story they had was okay but i find everything with Mizora now much more compelling #but yeah the more he does the right thing the more 'monstrous' he becomes is so. chefs kiss #was worried for a second he would say something insensitive about the change in appearance that Terragon would take to heart #but aside from saying people are less likely to trust him i think he was pretty good about the whole thing. shouldnt have doubted him #and now after having interacted with other tieflings sparingly growing up due to how sheltered she was Terragon has even more new friends #shes already ready to share tips about horn care #em.chats #terragon
